April seems to be whizzing by as we find ourselves at the mid month point of our April challenges at We Love Stamping and Stamping Sensations where themes are Spring and Inspired by Nature. Prizes on offer are Lavinia stamps, a Gina K gift voucher and stamp set.
Above is a new make, but most popping up lately are from my files which are now running low. It's a little Nature scene using the new Meadowbrook Tales collection from Lavinia and two of the new Versafine Clair ink colours which are so bright and vibrant.
An old make, base shape using A&C Roadway Vistas stamped with Berry Bliss and Spotted Wings, the sentiment cut into two is from my Believe stamp set.
Christmas Kickstart's theme is Brimming with Style, they would like to see things in hats, so another found hidden in my files from back in the Winter using one of my favourite Fairies Lavinia's Eve sporting a stripy hat to match her sparkly wings. All stamps Lavinia.
Lots of green appearing in the gardens this weeks, first leaves beginning to open on the largest Horse Chestnut, Quince tree in blossom, one of several Choisya's, a beautiful triple Tulip in our little Poppy's garden and finally the first Lilac to bloom.

Beautiful Spring colours on your projects and a very smart fairy in her Winter hat. Thanks for sharing the photos of your beautiful garden - my lilac is just about to be in full bloom and will be closely followed by the laburnum.

Beautiful cards Brenda. The tags and atc's in the below post look also very lovely. All beautiful makes. Your garden looks great. All so soon in bloom. Have a nice weekend. Marlies
The meadow scene feels alive with the bright new ink colors blending into such a vivid backdrop, and the Meadowbrook Tales elements settle so naturally into that soft sweep of color while the roadway base adds a strong grounded shape that frames everything with clarity, and the split sentiment fits the flow beautifully, and the winter fairy with her striped hat and sparkly wings brings a charming contrast that ties the whole post together along with the lovely burst of garden blossoms.
Your cards are just a wonderful sight Brenda, I love them.
So glad you share your stunning garden with us, your so lucky to have such a beautiful place. xx
As always a beautiful array of cards and pics from your garden
